01:14Max, attack!
01:17Max Verstappen is still the top dog.
01:20Fernando Norris, he's got wide. Verstappen leads him from Norris.
01:24It wasn't many races ago that Max was more than a hundred points behind these guys.
01:30Yeah!
01:31Well done, Max. You've kicked everyone today.
01:33Very nice to drive like that.
01:35That was very enjoyable.
01:37Max Verstappen keeps up his championship challenge.
01:42McLaren have made a critical error in their car set-ups.
01:45They're under investigation with FIA.
01:48Huge breaking news.
01:49They've run the car too low on the bumpy Vegas streets.
01:54Both McLarens have been disqualified.
01:57After the double disqualification, this world championship battle has been blown wide open.
02:04For Lando and Oscar, their hopes and their dreams could be shattered into a million pieces.
02:11Pressure's on Lando, right?
02:12I think so.
02:13I find a bit.
02:14And now, we head into the final two races with a three-way fight for the driver's title.
02:22Lando has everything to lose.
02:23Max, he will smell blood.
02:25Can Max complete an incredible comeback?
02:28Verstappen is a monster. He's the strong one. We have nothing to lose.
02:32Or is this the moment a new world champion rises?
02:56Good evening. How are we all? All okay? Welcome.
03:02Tonight, we are here to celebrate a powerhouse of motorsport.
03:06A leader, a hustler, now an author, the CEO of McLaren Racing, Zac Brown.
03:15What's the book about?
03:18Business, leadership, lessons, stuff.
03:21I was following the race at the weekend in Vegas.
03:24So I thought I'd get it out of the way at the start.
03:27How are you feeling?
03:31Um...
03:35That sucked.
03:37A bit of an understatement.
03:39It was a shock getting the news that we'd been disqualified.
03:42We got the car set up wrong.
03:45A bad mistake.
03:46We've never claimed we're perfect.
03:48We try and be perfect, but we're fair.
03:51We rotate whose car we sabotage weekend to weekend.
03:55So we do everything totally fair.
03:57You've made a mistake.
03:59And to do anything to hurt our drivers getting the chance to win the driver's championship,
04:03we felt pretty bad.
04:04How are both Oscar and Lando feeling about things?
04:08They're great.
04:10I, you know, I speak with them all the time.
04:13I've never once felt any tension in the room.
04:17Both guys have a great chance at winning the world championship,
04:21but, you know, Max is like that guy in that horror movie
04:26that as soon as you thought he was done, he's back.
04:29He's lurching back to life.
04:32Max is not a four-time world champion by accident.
04:35He never quits.
04:36He's right in the midst of things, so I'm concerned.
04:39We've, uh, we've put some pressure on ourselves.
04:43Um, just because a lot of people have asked this,
04:45shouldn't you be in Qatar?
04:47Uh, that's where I'm headed when we're, we're, we're done tomorrow morning.
04:53Thank you very much, Zach.
04:53Have a safe journey home.
04:54Good night.
04:55Cool.
04:55Thank you, everyone.
04:56Thank you.
04:58Qatar will be a challenging weekend for us.
05:00No one can kind of afford not to have a good weekend.
05:05You worry about everything.
05:07You got to reset.
05:09It's about getting the drivers focused on the job at hand.
05:24Oh, delicious.
05:32No, I'm good.
05:32I've got my own food with me, actually.
05:38Um, yeah, so I'm, I don't know where I start.
05:42Vegas hurt me.
05:43Lost a lot of points.
05:45Should just never happen.
05:47What the hell was that?
05:49You know, Barry Yaga.
05:52I'm just never a person that will come in and blame the team first.
05:55But when you're against the best in the world, then it's not good enough.
05:59It puts you in quite a difficult position.
06:02It's all about just trying to win.
06:05Yeah.
06:05All we want to do is make sure that we don't decide the championship.
06:13Inadvertently, you guys have a tingle and Max goes on and wins.
06:17Oh, yeah, we'll win the next race.
06:18No, no, no.
06:20After a double disqualification, Red Bull and Max are a threat.
06:24He's fighting for the championship.
06:25He's certainly going to be in it.
06:26And we have to perform perfectly to keep them out of it.
06:30I think there is a point when it's, we've done what we've had to do as a team.
06:35Yeah.
06:35Now it's the racing drivers, let us go and do what we can to win the race.
06:41Yeah.
06:42I think we're all mature enough to acknowledge I could win big or I could lose.
06:48McLaren are feeling the heat from Verstappen.
06:51The double disqualification in Vegas is only going to ramp up the pressure on everyone.
06:56Everything is now under the microscope.
06:58You cannot afford any more errors.
07:11Nowadays, you can't say shit in the pedal.
07:14Heading into Qatar, Max is now tied with Oscar.
07:17Good race.
07:18And Lando is just 24 points ahead.
07:27Ultimately, it's never a good thing having the result we had in Vegas.
07:31Another tense moment in the year.
07:33But the best way of keeping my hopes in as good a shape as I can is trying to go
07:37out and
07:37win and get the best results again.
07:39Oscar.
07:40What?
07:41I tried to piss both of you about this.
07:43Oh, sorry.
07:45What do you think about the double disqualification for McLaren?
07:49I think great.
07:49A few extra points for me, so I was happy about it.
07:53Both cars being disqualified is obviously a big setback for them,
07:56which makes Max come closer, uncomfortably closer.
08:02Huge moment for the championship, for McLaren.
08:05A little bit questionable.
08:07Max is going to enjoy that and, yeah, not a good thing for Oscar or Lando.
08:13Clearly, the pressure is super high.
08:15Lando has everything to lose.
08:17Max and Oscar have nothing to lose.
08:18Will Lando be bricking it?
08:21Everyone would be bricking it.
08:24Max, just get your reaction to what happened with the double DSQ for the McLarens.
08:29Of course, the gap closed a bit with that.
08:33Still 24 points.
08:35But it's definitely a better chance than what it was before that.
08:40But, you know, we go all in.
08:41We have nothing to lose.
08:42If it was anyone else, you'd say it was impossible.
08:47But this is Max.
08:48He lives for the impossible.
08:50To overturn more than 100 points and with two races to go,
08:55you just feel it's his.
09:01You good?
09:02Yeah, mate.
09:03In control.
09:04OK.
09:05Lovely times.
09:14We could be standing on the brink of history.
09:18Lando Norris can clinch the title tonight
09:20over his teammate and rival, Oscar Piastri.
09:24Max Verstappen will not back down either.
09:27My goodness me, I've got goosebumps.
09:29Feeling good?
09:30Yeah.
09:31In Las Vegas, we'd made a mistake.
09:33But I expect Lando and Oscar to bounce back.
09:38See you on the grid, dude.
09:40I think that we need to set everything up and stab it higher.
09:42In Qatar, we're hoping that by closing a bit that gap,
09:47McLaren, they will start to feel a bit more pressure.
09:50Leave it one minute.
09:52And as a result, they will make mistakes.
09:55It's one thing to dominate.
09:56It's another thing to feel the pressure of your competitors.
09:59Oscar Piastri has pole.
10:01At the moment, it's a close battle.
10:03I'm not ultimately concerned with whether I have an edge or not.
10:06I'm focused on trying to win the Drivers World Championship.
10:11Norris is in second place alongside his teammate, Oscar Piastri.
10:15I've got to be on top of everything at all times.
10:18As soon as you relax one little bit in any area,
10:22you can pay the price and it can be costly.
10:24We need to win.
10:25We're going to stop making mistakes.
10:28Max Verstappen will start third tonight.
10:31We are here.
10:32I am in this fight still.
10:35But at the same time, it needs some severe bad luck or mistake for me to be fully in the
10:41fight.
10:42We need a good start.
10:43We need something.
10:44Yeah, boy.
10:46Well, this could get excited.
10:48Everyone in position, three contenders for the title.
10:52If Lando wins tonight, he's champion of the world.
10:57But if either Piastri or Verstappen finish ahead of him,
11:01this title fight will go all the way to the final race in Abu Dhabi.
11:28Very good overtake, Max.
11:30Fantastic.
11:37And Max Verstappen ahead by turn one.
11:41Come on, Lando.
11:42Lando, keep it up.
11:43He'd like to try and give it a go on Verstappen.
11:46Confirmed.
11:49Race leader, Oscar Piastri, trying to win his first Grand Prix for three months.
11:54Everything looks good outside, Oscar.
11:56Great to then, Verstappen, fast back.
11:58Race is great.
11:59Good job.
12:01It's a pretty fast-paced race, but being able to get comfortable with it pretty quickly.
12:06There's still a lot that can happen, but so far, so good.
12:10Piastri is still fighting for his own championship.
12:21I don't think about losing.
12:22That's not in my head.
12:24I think about how to win.
12:25The start was decent, so this is a very good opportunity now for us to win the race.
12:33Whoa.
12:36No needless driving against me.
12:50Fucking unbelievable.
12:52I gave him loads of space.
12:55You're okay, Nico?
12:57I'm fucking stuck.
13:00They're not going to clean that car away very quickly.
13:04There are 50 laps to go, and the safety car is out.
13:08It's going to be interesting.
13:13I feel the boxing are staying out.
13:15I'm a standby.
13:17If drivers want to take a pit stop behind the safety car, they can do so.
13:22I think we have to stay out.
13:24We need to see much.
13:28Oscar, we're staying out.
13:30Stay out.
13:31If he's staying out.
13:33Oscar's not kidding, mate.
13:34Is Oscar a kidding?
13:35It's not bad.
13:36He'll get out of the picture.
13:38What are we doing?
13:39We're staying out.
13:44Box and pit confirm, Max.
13:45Box, pit confirm.
13:47Copy.
13:48These tires cannot do more than 25 laps per set, so it's a two-stop race.
13:55For us, taking the pit stop was an automatic decision.
14:01Verstappen happy to roll the dice.
14:03Pitting under the safety car essentially means a free pit stop.
14:07Box now is a very busy pit lane.
14:09A whole bunch of cars coming in.
14:11Most of the field, it looks like.
14:14Most of the field, it looks like.
14:15Everyone has been in now, other than the two McLarens.
14:19And now McLaren have the entire pack behind them on fresh tires.
14:23I should have just followed him in there.
14:25If he knew the car head was staying out.
14:27It's never a nice moment to win the entire field as an opposite strategy, so I'm concerned.
14:33Are we in trouble here?
14:35We will see whether there was the record or not.
14:39Complete disaster for McLaren.
14:41They've now got to make an extra pit stop over Verstappen before the end of this race.
14:46They've got to build an enormous gap to undo the damage here.
14:49When you're under so much pressure, it's not the stakes.
14:54Expecting McLaren to push hard on the restart.
14:58Yeah.
15:00Safety car in this lap.
15:02Here we go.
15:06Safety car in.
15:17We're racing again.
15:19And McLaren with so much work to do.
15:22You are free to push.
15:24I can't let them go too far away.
15:26Do what you can, obviously, Max.
15:29This is a bit of a race where we need to be quick comebacks.
15:32What kind of players do I need?
15:34We would need to be more than a second faster than Verstappen.
15:39Right on.
15:40Piastri leads this Grand Prix with Norris in second, then Verstappen in third.
15:45He's going to have the race lead when the McLaren stop.
15:50They've blown this massively.
15:52It's a pivotal moment in the World Championship with 15 laps to go.
15:57Okay, Oscar.
15:57Tire update, please.
15:59Strobeling a bit now.
16:00Copy.
16:01Let's do it.
16:02It's like ops, ops.
16:07Max, good pace.
16:08Captain Norris, one sec.
16:10Yeah, this feels good.
16:15Rando, box.
16:16Do that, please, box.
16:20That's currently P1.
16:22Yeah, yeah.
16:25Bring it home, man.
16:26Do it, McCart?
16:27Stay there.
16:31Rando could be close to Cazzo.
16:34Antonelli at Sainz.
16:35They'll be ahead of us.
16:40Norris, yeah.
16:41We have nothing.
16:43Right, what we need, bro?
16:45Max, plenty of gap now for Norris and Piafri.
16:48So hold on.
16:49Last lap.
16:52I think Norris will serve you to pass out to Nelly with the pace we're doing.
16:58Come on, Lando.
16:59Let's go and get Antonelli.
17:11Antonelli has gone wide, and Lando Norris moves up into fourth place.
17:16And that's two very precious extra points there for Lando Norris.
17:20How crucial could they be?
17:21Come the final reckoning.
17:24Regardless of that, we will fight to the end, man.
17:29Yes, somebody in both.
17:31That's a very lovely race.
17:34Max Verstappen wins the Qatar Grand Prix.
17:37And the fight for the title will go to the final race.
17:42Staying in it.
17:43Great jump, man.
17:44We're done, Max.
17:45Never a foot wrong.
17:46Magic base.
17:48Let the other guys do the mistakes.
17:52Yeah, it's really boiled up with that goal.
17:55They threw the fucking win away.
17:59Get in the win.
18:00It's fucking embarrassing.
18:01Just gave everything away.
18:02Check the flag, Oscar.
18:04Check the flag.
18:05Piafri comes home in second.
18:06And that now means he's behind Max Verstappen in the driver's standings.
18:13Norris finishes in fourth.
18:15This could have been the coronation.
18:18He was dreaming of being world champion tonight.
18:21Painful.
18:22Painful.
18:28Speciousness.
18:30I don't have any words.
18:34We made a wrong decision today.
18:37That's clear.
18:41You know, obviously it hurts at the moment.
18:43It's another weekend where something's just not going our way.
18:47It does hurt.
18:51Another mistake.
18:53A highly visible mistake.
18:56Very disappointing coming off of Vegas.
19:01We stuck to our plan.
19:02I don't think the team expected everyone to box.
19:05The safety car.
19:06Was it the right call?
19:10No.
19:13Why didn't you beat like all the other drivers?
19:17Because we did what we thought was best.
19:20It hurts the team, I think.
19:22We looked like idiots.
19:25I think we should have done what we did.
19:27Simple as that.
19:32You think I still go see the drivers or let them be?
19:35I don't know.
19:38I don't feel like I'm saying sorry to them.
19:42McLaren's decision to go against the prevailing wisdom of every team in that pit lane is baffling.
19:51You could imagine a driver losing a bit of faith, a bit of confidence.
19:54We just can't afford any more mistakes because they're getting pretty costly.
19:58Okay, that's your phone.
19:59I'm on the phone.
20:00You win next week.
20:03I do want to go talk to the drivers.
20:05Um, yeah.
20:08If it had been anyone else who won, it wouldn't have been quite so bad.
20:12The errors compounding Vegas, Qatar, with one race left, it couldn't be much more of a disastrous outcome.
20:23Believe it. Believe it.
20:24Believe it.
20:27We dominated the race.
20:30It was a very significant win.
20:33It has a big influence on the championship.
20:36Anything can happen in a race like it showed today.
20:39It was just a mistake of not boxing both of them.
20:42Max Verstappen has won the Qatar Grand Prix.
20:45Very happy.
20:46I know, of course, the gap came down quite a bit.
20:48We're in it.
20:48And it will keep it interesting.
20:51Max, ahead of this race,
20:53Zac Brown described you as a guy in a horror movie that keeps coming back effectively.
20:57Do you think you're a little bit in McLaren's heads and you've gotten scrambled
21:01and that's why they're making these sort of mistakes?
21:04You can call me Chucky.
21:15How are you doing?
21:17I'm all right.
21:18Yeah?
21:20Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
21:21Loving life.
21:22I can't complain, can I?
21:26Fighting against Max.
21:28The driver, I think, is probably the best ever in Formula One.
21:31It's difficult.
21:33In Qatar, I was downbeat because I lost some points in the championship,
21:37just thrown away.
21:40We messed it up and he did a good race.
21:42They're doing a very good job.
21:44And we did quite the opposite.
21:46Like, do I think I'm quick enough?
21:48Yeah.
21:49But, er, I need to do it when it counts, that's the only thing.
21:56It's not like I'm scared of losing, let's say.
21:59It's more the effect of losing, which is the disappointment.
22:04Yeah.
22:05It's just difficult.
22:07Better get going.
22:09Cheers, mate.
22:15Going into Abu Dhabi, I hope I don't have to find out what it means
22:20to not come out on top at the end of the season.
22:33We meet again in Abu Dhabi for an F1 title decider.
22:40With three drivers in contention, only one can triumph.
22:46Who will be the champion of the world?
22:49I think this is Lando's to lose, but it's the last race of the season
22:53with a lot of championship pressure,
22:54and that always results in a fantastic last race.
22:57Here you go, buddy.
23:00I think it's going to be Lando to win, or Max and Lando to crash,
23:03and Oscar win.
23:05Now, in the final race of the season.
23:08Oscar slips to third in the Drivers' Championship.
23:11Max moves up to second and finds himself just 12 points behind Lando,
23:16with one race remaining in Abu Dhabi.
23:22All Lando has to do this weekend is finish on the podium.
23:25First, second, or third, he's champion.
23:28But right now, if you're a betting man, it's Max's.
23:34Because the unthinkable, the improbable,
23:40now has a very realistic chance of happening.
23:43There were many. Thank you.
23:44So, McLaren had a trip up in Qatar,
23:48and Max knows how to get the most out of his team,
23:51so you can't bank against that.
23:52Maybe Oscar can be on the top, and he's just very, very calm.
23:56So, through the highs, he's calm. Through the lows, he's calm.
24:00But who's your money on this weekend?
24:04Probably Lando, I guess.
24:06I'm not going to be putting money on it.
24:07I don't think that's legal.
24:10Well, I hope Max wins.
24:11He's in a hunt, and he has a good chance that he can win.
24:16In this moment, Norris has an advantage.
24:19But when Starper is a monster, he's a strong one.
24:22There's nothing to lose.
24:23I've been reflecting on it and thought,
24:25which way do I think it's going to go?
24:27Can't call it.
24:27It's going to be a banging showstopper.
24:32It's perfectly poised, isn't it?
24:34It's as though the racing gods had written the script for us.
24:38It's either the racing gods or Netflix,
24:39but somebody scripted it.
24:45We're calm.
24:46I think we're calm.
24:47I'm not sure I'm calm.
24:49I'm calm.
24:50I'm portraying that I'm calm.
24:52It gets very, very intense.
24:56Being in the lead, you're more of a mindset of,
24:58don't mess it up.
24:59Mm-hmm.
24:59And that's where Max will have an advantage in that he's...
25:03Done this.
25:04Done this four times.
25:06It'll be interesting to see what Lando's like.
25:07Oscar's chilled.
25:08I mean, Oscar can definitely win this thing.
25:10Yeah.
25:11It's why I always hate with, like, three laps to go,
25:14you know, in the commentary,
25:15when they start talking as if it's, like, all over,
25:18and you're like...
25:20I've seen Lewis go from losing
25:22to winning the world championship
25:23in a corner on the last lap.
25:24Yeah.
25:25That's what makes sport cool.
25:28Unless you're the one on the wall.
25:30This conversation's making me more nervous.
25:33Losing the championship would be devastating.
25:36To come all this way,
25:38to fall short,
25:39I don't even want to think about it.
25:47Excuse me, guys.
25:48Excuse me, guys.
25:50Good luck.
25:51Good luck, guys.
25:52Thank you.
25:52Here we go, then.
25:54The fight for the 2025 world title
25:57is about to begin.
26:01Radio check.
26:02Yep.
26:03Radio check.
26:04Excellent.
26:05Hard and clear.
26:05Yep.
26:06Hard and clear.
26:07I'm always a bit nervous before Polly.
26:08I want to be on pole,
26:10and I feel like I have to be on pole
26:11to make my life easier on Sunday.
26:15So, Lando and Sally
26:17is coming up behind you.
26:18He's approaching turn six now.
26:23It looks like tense,
26:24tense driving from Lando,
26:26doesn't it?
26:28Here comes Piastri,
26:30who goes faster by some margin.
26:34Better put the wind off him.
26:35What a statement that is.
26:38Okay, Max.
26:40Currently.
26:42It's going to need something mighty
26:43from the two McLaren boys
26:45to be that.
26:46So, if we can help
26:47with the kind of confidence
26:48on the brakes.
26:49No, it's not that.
26:50I think I'm just
26:51doing a shit job.
26:55I feel like stressed.
26:57I put myself under pressure
26:58because I do a crappy life.
27:01I put myself down because of it.
27:03To put yourself in a kind of
27:04a better position
27:05and a better mindset
27:06to set things off
27:07in the right direction again.
27:08You've got to think now.
27:09Can't think of the past anymore.
27:13Lando Norris
27:14currently finds himself
27:15third fastest.
27:21I should currently be
27:22P2.
27:23Copy.
27:26Can you update
27:27as you get the head?
27:29Norris,
27:30three seconds.
27:32Keep on it.
27:43Norris,
27:44a tenth faster than Piastri
27:46in the middle sector
27:47of this lab.
27:50Here comes Piastri,
27:52crosses the line.
27:53That's P3.
27:55Well, that wasn't much
27:56left at now once,
27:57so thanks.
28:03Okay.
28:03We are P2.
28:05P2.
28:09That's the whole position, folks.
28:12Let's talk and go, guys.
28:14Let's see.
28:16Yes.
28:18Unbelievable speed, Max.
28:19Just pure speed.
28:21Here we go.
28:22Yeah, fantastic work, guys.
28:24Let's have some fun
28:24out there tomorrow.
28:28Obviously, you know,
28:29I didn't have a great qualifying.
28:32Yeah, it was a tough one.
28:44Yeah, hello.
28:44Can I get your attention
28:46with our man of the moment,
28:48world championship leader,
28:50Mr. Norris?
28:57Yeah, a big day for all of us.
28:59I mean, this is, like,
29:00the biggest day of my life.
29:01I think when someone asks me
29:03how much I want to win
29:04a world championship,
29:05it's been my dream, right,
29:06since I was a kid, so
29:07everything I do is aimed
29:09at trying to be the best
29:10in the world.
29:10For Max to win,
29:11he needs to finish first
29:13and I need to finish fourth,
29:14so it could be a day of games
29:16in many ways.
29:17He's not going to just
29:18try and win, I'm going to guess.
29:19He's going to see what he can do
29:20to disrupt things,
29:22cause havoc, cause chaos,
29:24and we just need
29:25to be ready for that.
29:26I mean, the exciting part is
29:27I'm calling our strategy.
29:34We have to avoid making mistakes
29:36with the strategy stuff.
29:38I don't know what I'd be saying
29:40or thinking if I don't win.
29:42It's a horrible thought.
29:44I don't expect any drivers
29:45taking each other out
29:46to decide the world championship,
29:49unless you have to.
29:50No.
29:53Okay, I'll see you on the grid
29:55and let's kick some ass.
29:57No worries.
29:57Cheers, guys.
29:58See you later.
29:59Thank you.
30:00Thank you.
30:03Thank you.
30:04Philando, with the expectation
30:05that's really rested on his shoulders
30:07since he joined McLaren,
30:08the fact that he was pitched
30:10from the outset
30:12as a potential champion,
30:13this should have been his season.
30:15But motor racing is a mind game
30:18and you're going up
30:19against one of the all-time greats.
30:21It's a question to Max.
30:23How are you dealing with the pressure?
30:25I'm very relaxed.
30:27I mean, trophy looks the same.
30:30You know, I have four of those at home,
30:31so it's nice to add a fifth.
30:34Just wanted to know
30:35if the parents are here.
30:37No, parents are not here.
30:39I mean, I didn't really plan
30:40to be in the title fight
30:41until the end,
30:41so, yeah, here we are.
30:45We're seeing a very different Max Verstappen
30:48and it's joyous,
30:49unless your name is Lando Norris
30:51or Oscar Piastri.
30:55Because an unrestrained,
30:58carefree Max Verstappen
31:00is absolutely fucking terrifying.
31:03Welcome, Max.
31:04How's it going?
31:06How are we doing?
31:06We've got to put in the shape for you.
31:08I'm sitting here?
31:08Yes, please, in the shape.
31:09I thought you might like to stay
31:10slightly cooler.
31:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:12It's quite hot already.
31:14Luckily, the race is, of course,
31:15in the evening, so that helps.
31:17It's much better.
31:21Max, if you win the championship,
31:23will this go down
31:24as your greatest win?
31:26I think definitely
31:26the most unexpected one.
31:28But then also, it's like,
31:29there is no pressure.
31:30Of course, if it happens,
31:32then that's insane.
31:34If it doesn't happen,
31:35we can still be very happy
31:36with what we have done
31:37the last few races, so...
31:39Pressure's on Lando.
31:41I think so.
31:44I'm in a good space, you know?
31:45Like, it's not this, like,
31:46do or die.
31:47But at the same time,
31:48I still want to win,
31:50and that's why I'm here.
31:52You seem tougher mentally
31:54than those guys.
31:55Do you try to play mind games
31:57with them in interviews
31:58in the press
31:59to, like, plant a seed,
32:00like, I'm an animal
32:02and you're not?
32:03Uh, yeah, I mean,
32:05I've done it now
32:06the last few races
32:07a little bit
32:08because it irritates them,
32:09you know?
32:10So, um, yeah,
32:12I don't mind it.
32:12For me, like,
32:13it's all fun and games anyway.
32:15Um, you shouldn't take
32:16everything too serious.
32:19We are not going to change
32:20our approach now.
32:21We have been saying,
32:22race after race,
32:23if there is an opportunity,
32:25Max is going to take it.
32:27He's an extraordinary champion,
32:28and, you know,
32:29Max will have a good chance.
32:30Thank you.
32:31Good luck, Max.
32:31Yep, thank you.
32:32Good luck.
32:33Good luck today, guys.
32:33Good luck.
32:39How's he feeling?
32:40Uh, not as confident
32:41as me and you would be.
32:42Fuck no.
32:44You've been mega all weekend.
32:47Rinse and repeat.
32:49Just what you did last year.
32:53All right.
32:55Have fun.
33:01Rinse and repeat.
33:07All right, all good?
33:08Yeah.
33:08We're ready.
33:10How's Carfield?
33:11Hopefully it's been better today.
33:25You're about to witness
33:27one of these drivers
33:28have the greatest day
33:29of their career.
33:30The sport's biggest prize
33:32is up for grabs.
33:39Max Verstappen
33:40is going to push
33:41the McLarens
33:41all the way,
33:42and he starts
33:43the final race
33:44of the season
33:45from pole.
33:46Victory
33:46would complete
33:47the greatest comeback
33:48in the history
33:49of Formula One.
33:51McLaren,
33:52second with Lando Norris,
33:54and third
33:54with Oscar Piastri.
33:56Max is in,
33:57whatever he gets
33:57to win the race,
33:58what's happening
33:59behind is what's happening
34:00behind.
34:00No control over that.
34:02See you on a good day.
34:03Have fun.
34:06I think in Formula One
34:07we know it's not over
34:08until it's over.
34:09Shipping your pants.
34:10Yes.
34:13We have to go out
34:13and win this championship.
34:16Not expect Max
34:17to falter.
34:20Verstappen
34:21must make the podium
34:22to have any chance.
34:24Piastri
34:24must be in the top two.
34:26And if Lando Norris
34:28is to win
34:28his first world championship,
34:30he has to finish
34:31on the podium.
34:35We'll see how the race
34:36pans out.
34:39Until
34:40either Lando or Max
34:41cross the line
34:42in front of me,
34:43I've still got a chance
34:44of winning the title.
34:45I don't need
34:46things to happen in the race
34:47to win the championship,
34:49but funny things can happen.
34:53When pressure is high,
34:55normally I perform
34:56because I enjoy that.
34:58I'm going to try
34:59to win the race.
35:00If I need to attack,
35:01I'll attack
35:01because I have
35:03nothing to lose,
35:03so what can happen?
35:05You're either second
35:06or third,
35:07or you win.
35:08That would be fantastic.
35:11It's always tough
35:12and it's never
35:14going to be easy.
35:15It could be my only chance
35:17of winning a championship.
35:20Absolutely breaking it.
35:22It is time
35:23to crown a champion.
35:38Oscar, just behind.
35:40Yes.
35:44Max and Lando,
35:45to head.
35:51Overtake available.
36:03Good job.
36:04Neil P2.
36:06The staff and the staff
36:07are ahead of you.
36:10That's Oscar ahead of us.
36:11We should use
36:12a bit more pace.
36:16As expected,
36:17the field is very close.
36:18The car behind,
36:20now Piaš 3.
36:21Yep.
36:22Leclerc,
36:22he's a couple of seconds
36:23behind Norris.
36:25This pace is mega.
36:27Well done.
36:28Go ahead, Norris.
36:30Go for it.
36:34The track behind,
36:36Leclerc,
36:36we're at 0.6.
36:38With Max Ostappen
36:39in the lead,
36:40Lando must finish
36:41P3
36:42to be crowned
36:43world champion.
36:45And Leclerc
36:46will have DRS,
36:47he's 0.6.
36:48Go for it.
36:56DRS enabled.
36:57Go for it.
37:07Good job, Oscar.
37:08Let's see if we can
37:09start putting the staff
37:10under pressure.
37:11Go for it.
37:13The Lando,
37:14box this lap, please.
37:15Box this lap.
37:16Go for it.
37:18Nox, Charles,
37:19box.
37:20Perfect.
37:21Both Lando
37:22and Charles
37:23are pitting
37:23for new tyres.
37:24McLaren
37:25have to get this right
37:26so that Lando
37:27stays ahead
37:28of Leclerc.
37:31We have a plan.
37:33Everyone's laser-focused.
37:36We can't make
37:37any mistakes.
37:42I'll be close
37:43at exit.
37:45The field spread
37:46is incredibly tight.
37:47Yep.
37:48Go for it.
37:49Oscar Lando pitted,
37:50but there's quite a lot
37:51of traffic
37:51in front of it.
37:53Copy.
38:02Norris has
38:03exiting pits
38:04behind us.
38:05Yep, copy that.
38:06Lando finds himself
38:07all the way back
38:08in ninth
38:08after his pit stop.
38:10He has to get back
38:11to third
38:11to win the World Championship.
38:13So Norris
38:14is followed by
38:15Antonelli,
38:16Sainz,
38:17Stroll
38:17and Lawson.
38:18Also soon
38:19over.
38:45This race
38:45is not going
38:46the way I need it to.
38:47But I can't let
38:48this championship
38:49just slip away
38:51because I fought
38:52as hard as I could
38:53fight for it.
38:55Good job.
38:59Four cars
39:00still today.
39:02Sainz is the next car.
39:09No, it's the first
39:10car behind you.
39:11Do not go offline
39:12for noise.
39:13Copy.
39:17Come on, Carlos,
39:19be a friend.
39:21I've been teammates
39:22with Lando,
39:23but I'm not
39:24trying to
39:25help the McLaren.
39:26Just focusing on
39:27making zero mistakes.
39:29He's going to struggle
39:30to pass me.
39:34Pace is really good.
39:36Three cars to go.
39:59Let's do our best.
40:15Just tear it up, Damien.
40:17Just tear it up.
40:23Lando takes two cars
40:25in one corner
40:27and is up to fourth.
40:29Verstappen and Piastri
40:31are leading this race,
40:32but it will not matter
40:33if Norris can claim
40:35third position.
40:39Our next car will be
40:40for Lando.
40:49We expect Norris to fit
40:50one lap.
40:52All he can when he catches.
41:00Any concern
41:02they do something
41:02really dirty?
41:06I can't sit out or head.
41:14Car behind now.
41:16Norris.
41:19I'm looking.
41:22Try and get it, mate.
41:29They can see Uki.
41:31I know they're
41:32pretty quick in the straight,
41:34but I'm on
41:34fresher tires.
41:36I have to get past.
41:42Here comes Lando Norris
41:44and he gets pushed
41:45completely off the track.
41:46Oh, my!
41:48You're going to have to
41:49look at that
41:49because was he all
41:50four wheels
41:51off the track?
41:53He's over the white line.
41:55You have to get that back,
41:56you know?
41:58That was fucking bullshit.
42:00The stewards
42:01are reviewing the incident
42:02between Norris
42:02and Tsunoda.
42:04This is a huge decision.
42:06That was classic
42:06Red Bull shithouse.
42:11Very dangerous.
42:20I think they are
42:21debating.
42:22I can't believe
42:23I'm not misplaced.
42:28We have been given
42:29a five-second penalty
42:30from moving twice
42:31on the defense of Norris.
42:33So, what?
42:35How much
42:36can I do?
42:37Five seconds.
42:39Fucking dickhead.
42:42A massive moment
42:43for McLaren.
42:44No penalty
42:45for Norris.
42:46My heart
42:47didn't need that.
42:51Oscar,
42:52Lando's now
42:53P3
42:53up to
42:54Verstappen
42:5522.
42:57Verstappen
42:57is way out
42:58in front.
42:59Oscar's title
43:00challenge
43:00is all but over.
43:01Lando
43:02must now
43:02hold on
43:02to P3
43:03to win
43:04the World Championship.
43:05So, Lando
43:06situated behind us.
43:07Leclerc at two.
43:08And then you've got
43:08Sonoda at 11.9.
43:11Confirmed.
43:13Just keeping
43:14on the clerk
43:14behind.
43:16Yep.
43:17This is
43:17a risk period now.
43:24Charles Leclerc
43:25is gaining ground
43:27on Lando Norris.
43:30The only thing
43:31that is in my head
43:33is
43:33what can I do
43:34for the best interest
43:35of Ferrari?
43:36I could potentially
43:37ruin the party
43:37and make
43:39the last race
43:40a bit more exciting.
43:44The clerk
43:45is pushing
43:46to
43:46two and three
43:47more than we are.
43:48Let's have a
43:48100% pace, please.
43:49100% pace.
43:56Why am I
43:57so
43:57throwing the
43:57straight?
43:59Nothing obvious
44:00yet on our side.
44:06Two laps remaining.
44:08First child's
44:09catching it.
44:10Little A
44:10has fallen behind
44:11him.
44:13Laps,
44:14you have
44:14given everything.
44:15You can be
44:16proud of it,
44:16I mean.
44:23Keep building
44:24this gap
44:24on the clerk.
44:26Two laps to go.
44:33The second
44:34to last lap,
44:35and I'm getting
44:36close,
44:36this is almost
44:37about to happen.
44:41All of a sudden,
44:43suddenly you have
44:43flashbacks.
44:51Different moments
44:52from the very
44:53beginning.
44:55Hi, I'm
44:55Landa Norris,
44:56I'm the European
44:57champion.
44:58I don't want to
44:58stop myself from
44:59trying to think of
45:00it, even though
45:01I'm not there yet.
45:04Just such a long
45:04journey, which is
45:06what makes it so
45:07special.
45:09Then the final
45:11lap, trying to
45:13take everything
45:13in.
45:15This is the
45:16biggest moment
45:16of my life.
45:19Lando Norris,
45:20he's the Formula
45:21One world
45:23champion!
45:30Lando, this is
45:31Zach from McLaren.
45:33This is the
45:33world champion
45:34hotline.
45:37You did it!
45:38You did it!
45:39Awesome!
45:40Woo!
45:41Woo!
45:42Woo!
45:43Woo!
45:43Oh, shit!
45:46Oh, my God.
45:48You made a
45:48kids' dream come true.
45:49Thanks so much.
45:52I love you guys.
45:53Thanks for
45:53everything.
45:54You deserve it.
45:56I love you,
45:57mom.
45:57I love you, dad.
45:58Thanks for
45:59everything.
46:02I'm not crying.
46:14Good job, mate.
46:16It's a P5, P2 in the
46:19constructors.
46:20Drop it, drop it.
46:21Let's go again.
46:22Thanks, yeah.
46:23I'm proud to beat
46:24Ferrari.
46:25A tough competition
46:26between the two teams.
46:27It will always exist.
46:29The great racers.
46:31Keep it.
46:32You're trying, yes.
46:35I'll always fight for you
46:36guys.
46:36Always.
46:37That's it.
46:39Yeah, I love Lewis.
46:40I have so much respect for
46:40him, but I think it's no
46:42secrets he's having a bit
46:43of a stinker, and it's
46:45a bit tough to see.
46:47Thank you, Carlos, for an
46:49amazing first season.
46:50Yeah, that has to be P5.
46:51Let's go build a man next
46:51year.
46:52Thank you, guys.
46:53Yeah, very good year.
46:54Congrats.
46:55It's unusual for a team to
46:56bounce from ninth to fifth.
46:58Well done, Alex.
46:59Thank you.
46:59There's a lot more to come.
47:00I can't wait.
47:02Thank you, James.
47:03But it's exponentially
47:05harder to be in the top
47:06three, and that's the bit
47:07that I'm really focused on
47:08now.
47:08Great job on your part,
47:09man.
47:10Just want to say thanks
47:11for the last 24 races.
47:13Thank you, guys.
47:14A little bad season.
47:15There's been so much
47:17momentum gained throughout
47:18the course of the season,
47:19so many highs and lows
47:20all the way through it.
47:21I mean, it's been a
47:22roller coaster.
47:24Well, let's keep this car
47:26away from my side next
47:27year, because I don't want
47:29to see it anymore.
47:32We need a completely new
47:33car, a completely new
47:3526, you know what I mean?
47:37It's got to be a little bit
47:38boring.
47:39No burnouts.
47:40Sure.
47:51Feel unbelievably relieved.
47:56To win the drivers is awesome.
47:59Couldn't be happier for Lando.
48:01Max is one of the greatest
48:03drivers of all time.
48:04Drives for an unbelievable
48:05team, so to beat him,
48:07you know you've done an
48:09awesome job, so I think it
48:10does feel sweeter.
48:13For Oscar, I know there's
48:15momentary disappointment,
48:17but he's going to be a world
48:19champion, I guarantee it.
48:20Last year, we became
48:22Constructor World Champion,
48:25and this year we have
48:26Double Rift!
48:32It's hugely significant.
48:34McLaren have gone from the
48:36bottom to the top to win
48:38back-to-back Constructors
48:39Championships and crown a
48:40driver's champion.
48:41So what that means is we're
48:44the best team in the
48:44business with the best
48:45driver, Landa!
48:50I mean, it's incredible
48:51because it's, it's, it's
48:54the thing, it's the thing
48:56all of us worked on to
48:58achieve, you know, since I
48:59was a little, little boy.
49:01I had amazing parents that gave me
49:04the opportunity to do exactly
49:05what I wanted to do.
49:07Never lose this mind, never
49:09lose this mind.
49:10We did it, and that's a pretty
49:12cool thing to say.
49:26It's a clean sheet of paper, I think this is probably the biggest rule change we've ever gone through.
49:31And a new team in Cadillac.
49:33You deserve to be back in the car.
49:35I think in Valtteri, in Checo, we've got this perfect combination of experience and talent.
49:40The arrival of Audi replacing Sauber.
49:43What I'm hoping that we've seen today is an iconic team, one that's forever Audi Formula
49:48One.
49:49A new teammate for Max Verstappen once again.
49:52What the fuck am I doing here, you know, it's just.
49:58Which means Yuki's been replaced.
50:01Not sure it's fair, to be honest.
50:04Liam Lawson will be racing with Visa Kashuk Racing Bulls in 2026.
50:10And Aston Martin have employed the man responsible for designing every great racing car that Max Verstappen
50:16has ever driven.
50:16Morning, Adrian.
50:17Adrian's a unicorn.
50:18We have the ability to be the next greatest Formula One World Championship team.
50:23We'll give it our best shot.
50:26McLaren may have the fastest car this year, but they might not be on top for long.
50:38Touching you.
50:41Touching you.
50:42Touching you.
50:44Touching you.
50:48Touching you.
50:49Touching you.
50:55Touching you.
50:56Touching you.
50:58Touching you.
50:59Touching you.
51:01Touching you.
51:03Touching you.
51:05Touching you.
51:06Touching you.
51:07Touching you.
